Abstract:
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) during pregnancy is rare but complicated in clinic, and its pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment are special, which may seriously harm the health of mother and fetus if not properly treated. During pregnancy, physiological changes such as insulin resistance, mechanical pressure caused by the enlarged uterus and increased secretion of estrogen and progesterone will affect patients with CP. CP may increase the risk of pregnancy⁃related complications and adverse perinatal outcomes. The management of pregnant patients with CP mainly includes the improvement of lifestyle, symptomatic treatment and obstetric management. This article mainly reviewed the pancreatic physiology, clinical manifestations and management of pregnant patients with CP.
